School starts tomorrow!

The uniforms are hanging in the closets, the backpacks are loaded with supplies, and the kids just won't go to bed. Tomorrow morning is going to be REALLY fun.

1. What grades are they in?

3. 4th and 6th

Our district splits schools into Primary and Elementary...my daughter is moving up to the Elementary school this year, so she's a bag of nerves. My son has one more year before he hits junior high.

14. I remember those days

The sleepless nights before school starts a mixture of nervousness and excitement, ah to be a kid again

15. My daughter suffers from anxiety, so the normal jitters are 50 times worse

Ah, so much fun!

7. End of May?

School here never got out until mid-June. And we had nearly non-existant breaks.

And got out in May.

10. DTBK

I couldn't tell you. Here in Texas disricts have been urged to start as close to Sept 1 as possbile but some districts just continue to ignore this. It must be hard to schedule UIL events when others have had more chance for practices and such. Our kids in my community start the 29th. In the district where I work, we are starting the 23rd with kids. I've been back since the 27th of July. :(
